[Healeys] Early Jack Handle Sets

[warthodson at aol.com]

Michael,Sorry for the slow reply. I have 2/3 of the jack handle set you are looking for. I have the top & middle bars in the photo you sent below. They appear to be in good condition. They do not have any identifying markings on them.Make me a fair offer. Shipping & insurance will be extra. Gary Hodson

I should have added a picture of what the original jack handle set looks like.The response from people offering to sell a set has been, shall we say, underwhelming.I guess I'm heading into it again ...At least now I have the necessary materials.

I forget what they’re supposed to look like as have never had one. I have something similar which I “borrowed” from the army many moons ago. I carry that plus a small scissors which will do to raise the car enough to get the other jack in place.However……..British eBay does show some hits for Shelley Jack Handles. But, are they what you need??Simon From: Healeys <healeys-bounces at autox.team.net> On Behalf Of Robert Begani via Healeys

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Early Jack Handle Sets Agreed, my Shelly Jack is in the tool box in my garage for safe keeping. Never did have a handle. Many years ago in the 80’s I bought a small scissors jack from Sears in a  nice plastic carrying case which fits nicely in between the tire and the battery in my BJ8.  Lightly used, but, really works when you need it. Bob BeganiBJ8 67 From: Healeys <healeys-bounces at autox.team.net> On Behalf Of Bob Spidell

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Early Jack Handle Sets I'll add that you REALLY want a geared scissor jack; I don't care what the jack's rated for, they're almost useless to lift a Healey (unless you're really a brute). I don't know why--maybe because they cost a few more bucks--but they're almost impossible to find anymore (I bought one for each of my cars years ago). Ex:

I have a similar one with an electric motor I keep in my Mustang.


ps. I'm guessing Michael wants a Shelley for originality.On 8/6/2020 3:57 PM, Roland Wilhelmy via Healeys wrote:
You don't really Want to use a shelly jack. It's for originality and looks only. Get a small scissors jack from a small car from the 90s or similar. It might save your life.  -Roland On Thu, Aug 6, 2020, 11:57 AM Michael MacLean via Healeys <healeys at autox.team.net> wrote:
